I had no idea Pine64 had a smartwatch (and earbuds?!)

I have a Fitbit Versa that's really starting to show its age, I might have to check the PineTime out. I also have a Bangle.js which was a fun Kickstarter buy, but it's a little too chunky (I see they now have a v2 of it now which looks slicker)

I have the Bangle.js V2 and can confirm, it is a slimmer and slicker overall design, feeling more like a Fitbit Versa. Honestly, it's been a boredom breaker since it's relatively easy to dump new code on to it. My only complaint is the vibrating motor is almost too weak for me to feel when sleep, and as such, is not a reliable silent alarm, so I swap back to my OG Pebble at night.

Their blog is a hilarious adventure through all the Pine* items they've released, their eInk venture and the earbuds are particularly interesting to me...
